BitchTapes: Celebrating 20 Years of Destiny’s Child

Twenty years ago, Destiny’s Child with original members Beyoncé, Kelly, LaTavia, and LeToya released their 13-track debut album. It only peaked at number 67 on Billboard’s overall album chart, and critics panned it as a lot of the sameness that plagued other girl groups, but 20 years later, Destiny’s Child is definitively the best girl group of all time. Four albums later, Beyoncé, Kelly, Michelle, and LeToya have all embarked on successful solo careers, and significantly shifted how the music industry distributes albums and markets artists.

This BitchTape honors Destiny’s Child’s contributions to music by including both songs from their albums as well as solo records.
